A man who has spent a summer in the mountains, re q res a little recreation in the fall It is a relief to turn one’s eves from lofty peaks, deep gulches and leamng uscades, to beautiful buildings and crowd- ed thoroughfares and charming pleasure resorts. Not that mountain amphitheatre, with its rugyved contour, and tow: ring grandeur, is not beautiful enough. But the most beautiful thing on earth, if too on inueusly looked upon, becomes tireseine }to the eye. It is, therefore, a relief—a joy | unspeakable —to turn away fer a while from the works of nature to those of art. Chicago is twelve hours ride nearer | Denver than it wasa monthago. A new railroad has been built from a point on the Union Pacific Railway, called Julesburg, to D “nvyer, Colorado, across the plains, called the ‘* Julesburg cat off.” It cannot fail to be of great advantage to both |Chicago and Denver, and is now betie: | patronized than any other road, by people tatending toe visit any point east of Chicago.

While last year, 1830, the quantity taken was greater than within rememberance, although of inferior quality, this year shows barely half as many, or 36,085 barrels, but of quality very fair. About one-half of the taken are estimated as number ones and twes, and the remainder number threes. Prices likewise are exceptionally high, the Gloucester, U. S., market during the past month ranging progressively up to Ist of Decumber, for number ones $18 ; for num- ber twos $9.50 and $10 50; and for threes $6.50 to $3.50. At these prices it does not take many barrels to pay the fishermen, who, it is believed, will make out quite as well this year with half the quantity as they did last year with an over abundance. canning of mackerel is increasing to a large business, there being last year only 6,960 cans reported, and 225,953 this year. Cod show poorly, 28,045 quintals having been taken last year, and only 16,934 this year. The quality was fair and the curing good. Hake have kept up to the average; say, 8,023 quintals. Halibut to the extent of 4,575 pounds,and haddock 72,600 pounds have to be added. for ¢ od, recommended by Professor Baird, of Washington, U. S., and in use by some of the Gloucester fisherman, have been given a fair trial in several localities of the coast. Thirty-four, setting 930 fathows, were imported, and with the exception of] three at Georgetown that are inoderately well spoken of, all are pronounced a failure. The total catch of spring herring is set | down at 24,440 barrels, of which only 4,500 | were for food, the remainder for bait. More could have been taken if the fishery had been more actively pursued. Gas-| peraux are fading out, only 1,917 barrels taken, of which no more than 500 were for food. The weather was frequently too gusty for the sea fisheries. Very few American ves- selain the Gulf. A considerable number ef Caraquet and other New Brunswick and Nova Scotia boats were engaged in gen- eral fishing off the coast. Nothing is noticeable as regards fresh- water fish,except thet they are more abundant than three years since. Total catch of trout, smelt, eels and bass, 108,730 pounds, The few pounds of salmon caught are scarcely worth record. Three fishways have been opened which permit fish to ascend to the upper spawning grounds. The officers of the hatchery on Dunk River have been suecessful in obtaining 1,500,- 069 salmon egzs and have on hand females to preduce 260,000 more, but there is a great scarcity of males. The lebster fishery has sprung at one leap into the position of the first of the Island fishing industries, and shows returns more than double those of the united mackerel, eed and herring fisheries. 6,332,865 cane were produced this year, as against 3,551,- whole The} The Norwegian gilnets ; at Cleveland ; Garfield's spirit basking in remains of the departed hero and is a lovely one, bat not so | that Statesman, (or Mount Auburn at Boston.

One thing is certain that po ‘casket in either Greenwood or Mount Auburn holds the bones of a grander man than the martyred Garfield. The thoughts that passed through our brain and the impressions made on our mind as we stood beside the grave of the ‘once brave, eloquent, stalwart, active | statesmen and soldier, were such as will jnever be forgotten. The once eloquent | tongue now silent forever. The once active | brain now passive as the sods that lay upon ithe coffin. The once stalwart frame now pulseless in the arms of death. The once |gallant soldier conquered at last by the | king of terrors. The character once so re- | splendent in all the hues of the Christian graces, now cold, silent and calm in death. But we could feel that the dumb lips were yet speaking—that the agencies set in motion by the active brain were yet revolv ing - that the Christian example bequeath- ed to the young men of America was bear- ing the most glorious fruit. Garfield dead; yet speaking. Gartield’s body in the tomb the rays emitted from the Throne of God ! Let the young men of America visit the shrine. Let them dropa flower upon the heath. Flowers were made to bloom in just« such spots. Of all America’s de parted dead, Garfield’s life stands out pre- eminently as the one after which the young men of America ought to copy. Mentor—Garfield’s late residence, and now the home of his illustrious wife—is ouly a short distance from Cleveland. In another article we shall speak of our visit there, the impressions received at Guiteau’s trial—all of which we hope may interest the reader of the EXaminrr. F. St. Vincent de Paul Society. THE WORK IT PERFORMED DURING YEAR. TEE PAST Tue Annual Public Meeting of the Con- ference of St. Vineent de Paul was held in St. Patrick’s Hall on Sunday evening. After the usual prayer and spiritual read- ing, the Secretary, Mr. Jas. A. McKenna, read his report. He referred to the success which had attended the Society since its inception ; stated that during the past five months, since the last public meeting, visitors had granted orders for provisions iu 141 cases, for cash in 52 cases, and for coal in 22 cases, besides which the Confer- ence pay for the maintenance of an orphan child and a destitute aged person. He pointed ont the course pursued by the Seciety in appointing two members to take charge of each family recommended to its care, etc., eto. Alter the adeption of. the Secretary’s report, the President called 050 in 1880. The figures are somewhat above the estimate made by some comnier- | cial firms, but are believed to be aub- | stantially correct. Anything to effect this) industry injuriously would be a calamity to | the Province. ; Oysters show the average take of 20,818 | bairels for home use and export. In ac-' cordance with the views of the Minister, Hin J.C. Po: e, the Department of Marines '! and Fisheries, has had charts prepared of existing eysterbeds and of localities where new beds may be planied. The likelihood is therefore that something may be done te protect and extend what is, after all, a valuable one among our fishing resources. > +) me «+ St. Vincent de Paul Society. Tae annual report of St. Vincent de Paul Society is published elsewhere. Referring to it we find that the Society. though in its infancy, has done wonderful work. It is composed chic fiy of men whose means of living are limited. Yet it gave relief to many sufferers, not only in winter but during the summer months. The suip expended in charities aineng all denomina. tions amounted to $650.69, leaving at the close of the year, a cash balance on hand of $11.19 cents. This isa small sum for a charitable Society to commence winter Operations on. During the summer months much destitution prevailed -in the city; and there was a continual drain of the funds of the Society. This being the case it is but reasonable to Suppose that during the winter the destitution will he mueh greater than in the summer; and the Bociety will, therefore, be called upen for relief, which they cannot give without the support of a genorous public. We hope then, that as the Society disperses charity _ the poor of all denominations, the pub- Mae ay contribute to its support ‘@"ens will he receiy ~Sied aae Sanae an by the Treasurer Micuam's ATLAS ieee t. ii.

Sin,—The Mayor has not complied with my reasonable request to give his reasons for publishing my private letters without my consent. A fair statewent may remov: the erroneous impression which Mr. Daw- son’s course has produced. I submit the following proposition. A man holding a position, whether under a Government or a Corporation, having attached to it important duties, including the expenditure of money, and having received for his guidance definite rules | without discretionary power, has no right |to break those rules at his employers ex- pence under any pretence whatever. Jf he |should not like the rules he may resign, but while holding the office he should do as he is told. The Medical Attendant believes in the proposition and has asked accordingly. The great law of humanity is of course binding on officials as on others, but they should be charitabie at their own expence, After the medical attendant had assumed his duties, he received from Ottawa the following rule for his guidance : “The law requires that the master of a vessei having a sick seaman, shall make a written recommendation to the Collector for medical and other assistance, which should be endorsed, ‘‘ approved’ by the Collector, and given to you for your authority for admitting the seaman.” communications. Any infringement ef the principle of this rule would deserve, and would propably he followed by severe reprimand. The Medical Attendant had no more right to admit a sick seaman con- trary to this rule than he had to quarter him in any private house in town. When the eick sailor arrived at the Railway Station, a wessenger requested of the Medical Attendant permission to take the man to the Hospital. He was told that as the case now stoed, it was impossible under the rules) After this the correspondence with Mr. Sharpe and the Mayor took place. The Mayor was allowed, within forty- eight hours, to receive instructions (by telegraph) from Ottawa. The instructions came within twenty-four hours. The sick sailor was removed from the Marine Hospi- tal without the knowledge of the Medical Attendant. Asto the telegram from the Alberton Collector that the vessel had paid her dues, Mr. Dawson did not make it known to the Medical Attendant, and the latter knew nothing of it until he saw it in the published correspondence. If Mr. Dawson had shown the telegram to the Medical Attendant, the latter would have given his permission for the sick man’s re- tention in the hospital. Mr. Dawson, therefore, is responsible for the man not now being in the Marine Hospital. Mr. Dawson cat talk, write and edit celumns in newspapers, but we have no knowledge that he has contributed one cent to the poor man. He promised to be responsible forthe expenses of the sick man at the Maiine Hospital, but he has done nothing. The expense has been paid by the Medica] Attendant. I will not attempt to charac- terize the conduct of men in Mr. Dawson’s position, who is himself blawable for what he evidently considers a case of hardships, and who seeks by inuendos ‘o place the re- sponsibility on others. {am yours truly, F. P. Taytror, Medical Attendant of the Marine Hospital, To the Editor of the Examiner. S1x,—I notice in your iasue of Saturday, a letter from a correspondent in reference to the day on which Christmas will be publicly observed (falling as it does on Sunday), with, the suggestion that the Government appoint the day, in order that its employes may be enabled to enjoy themselves at that time, Tx he aware, sir, that if the Government, in their generesity, do proc’aim the holiday that the poor vorkmen’s pay will be stopped? Is he aware, sir, that the railway employes, (most of them poor men) annually lose about twenty dollars a year on account of the generosity 5 the Government in preclaimin holidays, and then docking them forthwith. Or is he one of the bloated officials whose pay eagerness in the matter referred to in his Naturday’s letter. I am a poor man, Mr. Editor, an employee of the Railway, with a large family to support, and prospects of it being Jarger, and! think it is very hard to be treated in this manner.
